Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Sauces
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Cheese and Bread
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add liquids and seasoning: Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Simmer the mixture: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and excess liquid to reduce.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese evenly over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet and cook just until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy meat mixture into hoagie rolls and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add sliced mushrooms or jalapeños for variety and extra texture.
- Worcestershire sauce adds a savory depth, but adjust to taste if you prefer less salty.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet or microwave for a quick meal.
